Favorite a:tla ships - Zuko & Katara [2/?]
Katara: You have no idea what this war has put me through. Me personally. The Fire Nation took my mother away from me.
Zuko: I’m sorry. That’s something we have in common.
THE LAST JEDI | THE RISE OF SKYWALKER
TLJ: rey’s parents were nobodies. she doesn’t descend from some ancient bloodline. her strength is not attributed to some (male) ancestor, it comes solely from herself.
TROS: *makes rey a palpatine*
me:
TLJ: rey’s parents were bad people who sold her. this is thematically important to her whole arc about finding her identity. in order to grow and mature as a character, she must let go of the idealised picture of her parents she has in her head and the harmonious infancy she never had. she wants her parents to be good, noble people, and by having them be bad nobodies, we force her to change and grow, to create her own place in the universe/her own identity.
TROS: actually rey’s parents were G O O D P E O P L E who sold her to ~protect~ her uwu
me:
TLJ: we killed snoke to make room for the actually interesting conflict, the one between the conflicted supreme leader kylo ren and the resistance, his mother and rey.
TROS: *brings back palpatine*
me:
TLJ: the jedi failed. they were arrogant and stuck in their ways. they were so terrified of the dark side that they turned a blind eye to the darkness rising with palpatine. they deal in absolutes. it is time to let this flawed order die. we must learn from our past mistakes. failure is the greatest teacher.
TROS: rey is a jedi now
me:
TLJ: rey and kylo have a complicated relationship. they are beyond physically fighting each other, they now have to figure out their emotional conflict on how they are going to navigate their force bond connection and ambiguous feelings as supreme leader and resistance fighter.
TROS: *more lightsaber fight nonsense*
me:
TLJ: rose is a self-assured, determined character, an integral part of this story. she acts as moral authority to finn, helps him find his purpose in the resistance and embodies hope, resilience and fighting for the right cause.
TROS: *1:16 minutes of screen time*
me:
TLJ: rose and finn share a kiss
TROS: …y'all hear sumn?
me:
“The kiss” by Gustav Klimt as snowbaird bcs…… i have tike travelled to 2014 and its hunger games time
some 70’s dreamling for @landwriter
Welp, this movie truly broke me – I’ve gone and written a fanfic, y’all. Well, sorta. More like a lost alternate ending, written in screenplay format since, you know, it’s a movie, lol.
Anyway, I woke up with this in my head and needed to get it out. No time to work out any finer details and minutiae, so forgive any errors. It’s cheesy but I DON’T CARE. I just hope it makes someone feel better.
Begins after The Kiss:
Druig and Makkari in Eternals (2021)
- I’ve never felt so alone. - You’re not alone.
- I thought I was alone. - Erik, you’re not alone.
- Rey, I want you to join me. - Don’t do this, Ben, please don’t go this way.
- I want you by my side. - I’m sorry.
